Whenever I talk to someone at work about hunting and mention that I bow hunt. I get similar responses of "you're a real hunter" or (insert shooting fish in a barrel comment here). My response is that out of respect for the animal I want to use the most efficient weapon I am allowed. This generally catches them off guard and causes them to reconsider their view of gun hunters.
Having said that I was talking to a hunting buddy about giving trad bows a try and thought of this argument. What do you guys think about the ethics of using less efficient weapons? My thought is that using whatever weapon you choose is ok as long as you know the weapon's and your limitations, but I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.
